We love pet tech. Whether it's to help us locate our pets or translate their barks, technology to improve the lives of our pets is always something we are on the lookout for. We were excited when we spotted this retractable dog leash which combines several of the things we love here at Unplggd, green technology, LED lights, and of course pet tech.

Every night we have to wrangle our three cats out of the kitchen and living room and into our bedroom. We do this so we can shut some doors and keep our freestanding heater from pumping hot air where it's not needed. Wrangling always ends up with a game of chase the cats around the house, which is always at a time when running around the house is the last thing we want to do. So how did we fix the problem? We turned to the iTunes store.

Has the above ever happened to you? Yup, you're looking at an Apple desktop screen in the inverse; or (finally) a negative view of the Mac OS. Well, it happened to me and it just about ended my (almost) marriage. Well, I exaggerate, but it did lead to some halfhearted bickering. You see, when we fired up the flatscreen the other night to watch some Law and Order: SVU via Netflix Watch Instantly we found the above on our screen. We had no idea how it happened or how to fix it. He blamed me (I was the last to use it), I blamed him (he's the one in IT after all) and then the debate was interrupted by two cats sprinting across our legs. Of course.

There is no way that you could leave your dog alone for a few days. However, if you have cats, it's always tempting to try and find a way to leave them alone at home without getting a cat sitter or sending them off to a kennel.

Every year, the Pet's Eye View Camera ends up in pet roundups everywhere. Each year we've wondered what kind of photos your dog or cat could possibly snap with this thing hanging around its neck? This year, Friskies went out and found out.

We've always been nerds about aquariums, terrariums, and vivariums. There's something both satisfying and relaxing about self-contained eco-systems, with their special lighting, heating and water filtering keeping your fish, frogs, reptiles and plants happy. But we've never seen something as geeky keen as this Labyrinth Aquarium...

Not everyone has a spare Apple G4 Cube case lying around, so there's the BiUbe Pure Aquarium for those of you who like to keep fish and other aquatic life on their desktop, complete with an advanced LED lighting system that changes light according to day and time...

Unplggd reader Mod Mischief noted that there was a better looking version of the same idea we posted earlier this week of an old iMac repurposed into a hamster house, and upon review, we have to wholeheartedly agree...
